Method of seamless ZCLV/PCAV recording for packet writing

Abstract

When recording to an optical disk under zoned constant linear velocity (ZCLV) or partial constant angular velocity (PCAV) control, a plurality of super link points are dynamically set in the packet link areas. In this way, packet units recorded on a track of the optical disk are kept continuous.

1. A method of seamless ZCLV/PCAV recording for packet writing, the method comprising:
 providing a plurality of predetermined super link points for dividing a track of an optical disk into a plurality of areas; 
 completely writing a packet unit on the track; and 
 if a difference between a packet link area subsequent to the packet unit and a first predetermined super link point of the predetermined super link points is within a predetermined range, setting the first predetermined super link point to within the packet link area. 
 
   
   
     2. The method of  claim 1  wherein the predetermined super link points are a plurality of timing points on the track. 
   
   
     3. The method of  claim 1  wherein the optical disk is a CD-R optical disk. 
   
   
     4. The method of  claim 1  wherein the optical disk is a CD-RW optical disk. 
   
   
     5. A method of seamless ZCLV/PCAV recording for packet writing, the method comprising:
 providing a predetermined super link point for dividing a track of an optical disk into different areas; 
 completely writing a packet unit on the track; and 
 if a difference between a packet link area subsequent to the packet unit and the predetermined super link point is within a predetermined range, resetting the predetermined super link point to within the packet link area. 
 
   
   
     6. The method of  claim 5  wherein the predetermined super link point is a timing point on the track. 
   
   
     7. The method of  claim 5  wherein the optical disk is a CD-R optical disk. 
   
   
     8. The method of  claim 5  wherein the optical disk is a CD-RW optical disk. 
   
   
     9. A method of seamless ZCLV/PCAV recording for packet writing, the method comprising:
 providing at least one predetermined super link point for dividing a track of an optical disk into a plurality of data writing areas with different transmission rates; and 
 sequentially writing a plurality of packet units on the track, there being a plurality of packet link areas between each packet unit; 
 wherein at least one predetermined super link point is reset within the packet link areas. 
 
   
   
     10. The method of  claim 9  wherein each super link point is a timing point on the track. 
   
   
     11. The method of  claim 9  wherein the optical disk is a CD-R optical disk. 
   
   
     12. The method of  claim 9  wherein the optical disk is a CD-RW optical disk.
